Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, begins this evening at sunset, ushering in the High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot).
This Holiday celebration repeats around this same time every year:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/10-03-05-NNHS-Happy-Rosh-Hashanah.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/09-22-06-NNHS-Happy-Rosh-Hashanah.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/09-12-07-NNHS-Happy-Rosh-Hashanah.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/09-30-08-NNHS-Happy-Rosh-Hashanah.html
No doubt most of
us are
probably not personally observing this holiday, but we don't concern ourselves
with such trifling details such as that here. We try to celebrate everything together
as the one big happy family that we are.
So we extend all our best
wishes for all good things for all our friends and family!
Happy Rosh
Hashanah!

I personally haven't watched it (or any other soap opera)
in 25 years. I just don't like to see things end....
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 09/16/09 - "Autumn Of Our Lives":
Autumn Of Our Lives
I love Autumn here in the mountains of West Virginia. The cool air and the hum
of the heater in the morning soon gives way to the warm breezes flowing through
the window fans in the afternoon. The delightful smell of dry leaves fills the
air and in the evening I can sometimes catch glimpses of the deer feeding on the
fallen apples from the apple tree in our backyard. The sound of happy children
riding their bikes makes a sweet music for the ears as they play away the
evening hours until darkness arrives. All of this wonderful joy takes place too
under the brilliance of the mountains themselves. This time of the year they
look like they were painted by Heaven’s hand. Bit by bit the leaves on the trees
transform into glorious golds, radiant reds, and outrageous oranges. Beautiful
burgundies and browns soon appear too, as well as yellows that shine like the
sun itself. This time of the year always gives me a hint of what Paradise itself
must be like.
It really amazes me then that the phrase "the Autumn of our lives" is always
said with such fear. The very mention of it stirs up images of aging, illness,
and approaching death. I guess so many are afraid of that last leaf falling that
they fail to see the beautiful Spring that awaits them.
I think the Autumn of your life should instead be embraced with joy. It should
be the peak of a beautiful, colorful, and well-lived life. It should be full of
choosing love, sharing happiness, and helping others. It should be filled with
making yourself a better person and the world a better place. It should be
overflowing with peace, understanding, and oneness with God.
May the Autumn of your life then shine as brightly as the leaves on these
mountains. May you live simply, love deeply, and grow daily. May your last days
be your best days. And may you walk through the fallen leaves knowing that the
journey leads not to death but to eternal life.

Our fathers fought for Liberty, They struggled long and well, History of their deeds can tell- But did they leave us free?
Are we free from vanity, Are we free from stubborn
will, |
Are we free to speak our
thought, To be happy, and be poor, Free to enter Heaven's door, To live and labor as we ought?
Are we then made free at last |
Thank you,
Billy!

Funny.
When it is time to turn in
one's license!!!!!!!!
I guess in some cases, a picture is STILL worth a thousand words.
See, this is
exactly why I decided long years ago never to get my driver's license! Thanks,
Joan!

From ArcaMax Jokes - 09/17/09:
Pigeons
... But baby pigeon said, "I can't make it; I'll get too tired."
His mother said, "Don't worry;
I'll tie a piece of string to one of your legs and the other end to mine."
The baby started to cry.
"What's wrong?" said the mother.
"I don't want to be pigeon towed!"
*************
School Bus
It was the first day of school, after summer vacations and time for me to pick
up the children in my school bus and take them home again. After I had made the
complete run that afternoon, one little boy remained on the bus.
Thinking he had simply missed his stop, I started driving slowly back through
the neighborhood and asked him to be sure to let me know if any of the houses or
people looked familiar. The boy sat in his seat contentedly and shook his head
whenever I asked him if he recognized a person or place.
After the second unsuccessful tour of the area, I started back to the school to
ask for his address. When we arrived, the child got off the bus and started
walking away. "Wait!" I called. "We have to go inside and find out where you
live."
"I live right there," he said, pointing to a house across the street. "I just
always wanted to ride in a school bus."
